10tons Launches Joining Hands for Windows 8 on Windows
Store

Tampere, Finland, August 23rd 2012 – Finnish game
developer 10tons Ltd. has launched Joining Hands, a family friendly
puzzle game, for the upcoming Windows 8 operating system. The game
is available on the Windows Store immediately for 2,99 USD.

”Releasing Joining Hands five weeks before the official
Windows 8 launch is a nice start for our journey with the new
operating system.” commented Sampo Töyssy, Vice CEO of
10tons.” We expect to have several titles on the Windows
Store when Windows 8 becomes widely available. We will also support
the upcoming ARM-based tablets like the Microsoft Surface.”
Sampo continues.

Joining Hands is an elegantly minimalistic and captivating
puzzle game. The family friendly game features Peablins, adorable
creatures the player must place on the game board in a way that
each Peablins' hands are held by another Peablin.

The game was featured in USA Today's "Puzzles to help expand
kids' minds" article in May: "With a simple premise of leaving no
hand untouched, this game gradually increases in difficulty while
never losing its undeniable charm."
